  Face transplants in the offing
  

  
  

  Doctors in the United States have carried out face transplants on dead bodies donated for medical research.
  

  Now doctors at the University of Louisville hope to carry out the procedure on living patients.

  
  

  
  

   

  
  

  The Royal College of Surgeons of England  voiced concerns over the impact of such a procedure on the family of the donor, particularly if the patient looked like their deceased relative.
